The closed base is unglazed and pierced by seven small ventilation holes, and the rims of the bowl and cover are unglazed. The figure stands beside the bowl on a rock base decorated with applied flowers and leaves. He wears a feather skirt and headdress and holds a flower in his raised left hand.. The oval bowl has a domed lid with a double rose twig handle, twisted together at the top and terminating in four flowers at the junctions with the body. On the side of the bowl there is a gold-edged oblong panel with incurved corners and rounded ends, painted in black with a couple and a man by a pedestal in a landscape. The cover is decorated with four smaller panels each decorated with a figure in a landscape: a seated lady, a man with a pack on his back, a man with walking stick; and another man with a walking stick with another in the background holding a stick over his shoulder.I 3referenceexhibition-1070adlib-exhibition-10702cb713dc-899f-35df-9c15-515a05f38d48Plagiarism Personified?

imageThe figure was described as a 'ne***' on accession, but the costume is comparable to those of figures which are allegories of America in sets of Continents. Understanding of race and colour were still confused at that time, and porcelain figures of black Africans are represented as 'Blackamoor's wearing turbans and as Americans wearing feather headdresses and skirts.referenceterm-107454adlib-term-1074546ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20figurehistory noteuncertain before H.E.
